Reginald by Saki audiobook.

Genre: comedy

Saki (December 18, 1870 - November 14, 1916) was the pen name of the British author Hector Hugh Munro. His witty, biting and occasionally odd short stories satirised Edwardian culture. Saki is considered a master of the short story and has been compared to O. Henry and Dorothy Parker as well as Noel Coward and Oscar Wilde (who clearly influenced Saki.) His first collection of short stories, Reginald, was published by Methuen Press in 1904 though these stories first appeared in the 'Westminster Gazette'. The stories in this collection are a foil for allowing the jaded and insider/outsider figure of Reginald to comment on some ridiculous or provincial attitude prevalent in upper class Edwardian society, although one can easily recognize these same attitudes in our society today. Long popular and well known, Saki's brilliant humour is as enjoyable now as it was almost a century ago.

Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert ~ Full Audiobook [drama]

Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert audiobook.

Genre: drama

In provincial 19th-century France, Emma Bovary believes life should feel like the romances she devours: sweeping passions, refined luxury, and constant excitement. When she marries Charles Bovary, a well-meaning country doctor devoted to his new wife, Emma expects her dreams to finally begin. Instead she finds herself trapped by routine, small-town gossip, and the slow disappointments of a marriage built on affection rather than ardor. Restless and hungry for glamour, Emma reaches beyond her means and her station, chasing admiration and intensity wherever she thinks it can be found. As her desires collide with the rigid codes of her community, a web of temptation, secrecy, and escalating debts tightens around the Bovary household. Flaubert's landmark novel is both intimate and unsparing: a portrait of a woman at war with her own fantasies, and a sharp critique of the social pressures, consumer cravings, and moral hypocrisies that shape her choices. With psychological precision and vivid detail, Madame Bovary follows Emma's quest for a larger life as the consequences of her longing begin to close in.

Dream Psychology by Sigmund Freud audiobook.

Genre: science

Not a few serious-minded students, [...], have been discouraged from attempting a study of Freud's dream psychology. The book in which he originally offered to the world his interpretation of dreams was as circumstantial as a legal record to be pondered over by scientists at their leisure, not to be assimilated in a few hours by the average alert reader. In those days, Freud could not leave out any detail likely to make his extremely novel thesis evidentially acceptable to those willing to sift data. - Freud himself, however, realized the magnitude of the task which the reading of his magnum opus imposed upon those who have not been prepared for it by long psychological and scientific training and he abstracted from that gigantic work the parts which constitute the essential of his discoveries.

The publishers of the present book deserve credit for presenting to the reading public the gist of Freud's psychology in the master's own words, and in a form which shall neither discourage beginners, nor appear too elementary to those who are more advanced in psychoanalytic study. - Dream psychology is the key to Freud's works and to all modern psychology. With a simple, compact manual such as Dream Psychology there shall be no longer any excuse for ignorance of the most revolutionary psychological system of modern times.
